Wow!! I knew Giannis was always a fan of Lillard (and vice versa), but wasn't sure this would happen. Lillard has 4 more years on his existing contract, Jrue Holiday had one with a player option. More incentive for Giannis to stick around.
Grayson Allen was redundant with Pat Connaughton, no loss there. The Bucks added Malik Beasley as well. Lillard, Middleton and Giannis is quite a Big 3. Still have Brook Lopez anchoring the D. Better shooters off the ball when Giannis drives (Lillard, Middleton, Connaughton, Beasley, Portis, Lopez).
To echo what has been said....loved Jrue Holiday's leadership, toughness and defensive ability......his postseason numbers offensively were becoming concerning:
